The good news is that the list is getting longer.

  "When you click on the link to see the full results, it's no surprise that Japanese and European vehicles dominate the vast majority of the categories and yet American car lovers that blog here love to call them crap, junk, appliances, unsafe etc......."

frostyross, I see you are evading the truth once again.  When you look at the list there are 38 American vehicles on it while there are only 30 European vehicles on it.  So do tell us again how you came to the conclusion that "European vehicles dominate" when 30 is a lower number than the American total of 38.  Clown.

@DeuteriumOx, you're right, I counted 'em and American vehicles outnumber all the rest.  Go America!

Once again the American companies have more vehicles on the list above than the Japanese who seem to put safety last. 

I can remember the IIHS showing how Toyota "cheated" on the impact absorbing material for the rear bumpers on Camrys.  Toyota knew the crash test was done with the bumper parallel to the crash barrier so they only put a small piece of foam block behind the center of the bumper rather than the full width of the bumper like other manufacturers do.  While the Camry bumper looked okay in the test, in the real world if you weren't hit exactly in the center of the bumper, there was no absorbing foam to protect the vehicle.  If the point of contact was to the right or left of center, basically all you had was a hollow plastic bumper that would immediately collapse and not protect the rear of the car.  All so Toyota could save a few bucks. 

Just like they left out a brake override system that most of their competitors had made standard equipment.  Cut corners to save a few bucks per vehicle.  That came back to haunt them when they had the unintended acceleration fiasco with their vehicles.  Had a brake override system been standard equipment on Toyota and Lexus vehicles, 100 people probably wouldn't have died.  Like the bumper scenario above, Toyota was only interested in profits, not lives or property damage. 

Had it in CA,

"If a Fiat 500 hits an F150 head on traveling the same velocity, the truck would have a much higher energy to absorb.  The Fiat would not only stop, but would accellerate backwards!"

Except that is not the scenario they are trying to test, nor does any safety agency anywhere test for that scenario.  A head on to head on collision such as you describe is exceedingly rare, and is outright deadly no matter what car you drive.  Even an F-250 or an Excursion would probably be unrecognizable when hit with a 2,200lbs object at a closing rate of 120mph to 150mph (assuming highway speeds of 60 to 75mph).  The survival of a driver even in a semi-trailer would be questionable.  They are testing for the far more likely and far more common scenario of an accident of ramming a stopped or nearly stopped car, or impacting a tree, or a light pole.

I suspect that if the test that you propose were applied to any of the cars on this list, none of them would fare well at all even against a sub compact.
